    defining song variations

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    (Since her latest version isn't reviewed yet, I'm revisiting the last version.)  The song entity "All Too Well" has two variations: a live acoustic version (9:31) and a 10-minute alternative take (10:13).  That alternative take is listed under the "appears on" tab too. That tab has the original song (2013) alongside the re-recording (2021), both clocking in with the same duration.

    That tab includes a short film version (11:26), a studio live [Sad Girl Autumn] version (9:58), and a karaoke version (5:18).  So the "appears on" tab lists several versions, while the variations tab lists only two.  Thus, I'm confused how

    2023 Album Reviews Request

    Matski · 21 · Last reply by tv

    Can you forward a request to the editorial team? It's a small list of recent albums to be considered for review. These artists have all had at least one of their previous albums reviewed by AllMusic and their new album seems to be quite popular amongst users:

    • Iris DeMent - Workin' on a World
    • The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
    • Ryuichi Sakamoto - 12
    • Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel

    In addition, could you find out if their are plans to review these two albums? Both have already been released digitally, though the AllMusic website notes that they are still awaiting

    Thumbs down feature

    Charles Alvarez · 4 · Last reply by Charles Alvarez

    All Music must do away with the “Thumbs Down” feature as there are trolls that “thumbs down” many of the truly informative reviews just for the sake of the feature being there.  The worthless reviews often stay up while I’ve had many posts removed. Is this something the admins can check on?

    "David Roberts Live!" not related to David Roberts who issued "All Dressed Up" in 1982

    Mario Pohl · 0 · Posted

    Hello, the record "David Roberts Live!" for sure is not related to David Roberts who issued "All Dressed Up" in 1982. Canadian singer David Roberts recently issued further recordings via an Japanese record company, reissued in 2011 by a German record company. Thanks!

    Gipsy Kings Allegria album listing has inaccurate cover and year

    Peter Lacy · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Dear Allmusic:

    I love your site!!

    Along with submitting my review for your approval today, I would like to mention that the listing on your site for the Gipsy Kings’ album Allegria is inaccurate. That album was originally released in 1982 (using a different cover that I provided here as an attachment). The version currently on your site is better suited to the Gipsy Kings' compilation page.

    Please see my review (which I am also posting below)

    Thanks,

    Peter Lacy (a 20-year loyal follower of your site)

    Allegria

    This amazing album, first released in 1982, was the actual recording debut

    Ages ago the All Music website had a genre-selection control in the form of an interactive, 3D, ball of spikes. Is there some place I can still find an example of that?

    song and performance entities

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    At album-level, the soundtrack credits its first track's composer only to "Traditional".  But at song-level, two composers are added.

    From Los Lobos' version, I discovered that the song was "also performed by" Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band.  When I click on their song collaboration though, it's instead linked to Los Lobos' own version.  The album that released their collaborative version wasn't listed among the albums where the band's own version appears on (the same song page on which I discovered the song was also performed by Lalo Guerrero in collaboration with the band).

    I'm confused.

    When sorting by artist/album, Los Lobos' albums are interspersed among those by various artists.

    Hi,

    I've been attempting to purchase a paid subscription but am not able to complete the transaction. I've tried using Firefox and Chrome on my phone both with and without the VPN I normally use, and tried on my PC, again using Firefox and Chrome with VPN turned off as well. I see that there is a HTTP 402 error from Stripe when I click the "Submit Payment" button.

    I've checked the credit card and I'm not being charged.

    Allmusic Janus like nature (two faces) ....

    Chris Kent · 0 · Posted

    Story in two parts:

    1. I recently posted a strong complaint about a pop up ("AllMusic would like to send you notifications about albums ...") that does not go away when I log in (I subscribe). My intent was to complain to what I believed would be an unresponsive digital entity. Instead I received a fast reply from a person - one "Zac" the stalwart one-person support system here. It included an admission that the pop-up should go away when I log-in ie I am right. That is a remarkable admission from a corporate rep. And it is the first

    I've subscribed here for many years, to lend support and and so I avoid ads. Lately every time I use the site I get a pop-up with:

    "AllMusic would like to send you notifications about albums and artists you might be interested in. (these can be turned off anytime from browser settings)" Followed by two options, dismiss or allow. I do not want to see this pestering request, and I do not want to have to dismiss it every time I use the site. If I wanted push notifications I'd look to opt in, and having dismissed the thing at

    Multiple Entries: Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished & Dreamweapon

    Matski · 2 · Last reply by Matski

    Have the editorial team decided that they like both reviews of Animal Collective's Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished that they decided to keep them both? Kinda strange to have two entries for it. Was it done on purpose?

    Also, there are two entries fo Spacemen 3's Dreamweapon (first entry and second entry) though I doubt that's intentional. Any chance of merging them?

    Firewall Security Alert

    Günther Albrecht · 6 · Last reply by Zac

    During the last weeks, loading Allmusic.com pages on my local macs causes an Alert in firewall logs (CheckPoint Quantum Spark 1550, last firmware) about Bot activities:

    Scanning locally for malware has no results and the alert only appears when accessing allmusic.com ! As i could not explain that Google DNS is asked for a malware site url it seems appropriate to report that.
